Castelli

In every cyclist's closet resides a piece of cycling clothing that might not actually be best suited for on-bike use. The Castelli DS jacket is cycling clothing — made by one of the premier brands — designed for pre- or post-ride. It's great to wear in the coffee shop or in the registration line at those chilly early morning races. And after you're cleaned up, it's perfect for keeping the chill away.

The DS Jacket is made from a stretchy, lightweight polyester. Think of it as a more technical track jacket. It has a full-length, lockable zipper and a pair of zippered pockets on the front. At the bottom hem is a drawstring to help keep the fit snug. Reflective accents are on the rear, as is an Italian tricolore detail.
